As most of you know, the southeast was blanketed with snow on Friday night and Saturday morning.  My mother and father in Mississippi woke up to about 5 inches of snow and Columbia, South Carolina got about 7 inches of snow.  Believe it or not, we only had a few snow flakes on Friday night.  We woke up Saturday morning expecting to see snow, and to my wife’s disappointment, there was none on the ground. 

 We drove up to Charleston on Saturday morning to visit my son and daughter and as soon as we crossed the bridge to Bluffton, we saw snow on the ground.  

I believe this was the case because of the  ”thermos bottle effect” on Hilton Head.  We experience warmer weather in the winter and cooler weather in the summer – a difference that is even seen from as close as Bluffton, South Carolina.

Another reason we love Hilton Head – you don’t have to shovel when it rains!
